NO.

I'm not watching it either. What are you watching instead? I thoroughly enjoyed the Iran / USA game earlier today and have now settled down to watch Trainspotting 2 (T2 Trainspotting as it says on the tin) as I did enjoy it first time around. Anyone else not planning on viewing the Gas coin video?

It's a very interesting and moving account of a flawed but incredibly gifted footballer.

T2 was a disappointment.

It's this the same as the 2015 one? I watched and enjoyed that a few years back.

I do prefer a happy ending. 1690 PINs are a classic.

The ironic thing is it was ment as a clear piss take showing how sad that lot are. The Rangers fans absolutely lapped it up though. Too thick to realise it was a laugh at their expense. Weird breed.

He discusses it in the programme. I thought that he'd been put up to it by Goram or someone, but it was clear that he had no idea of the significance of what he did. He obviously still doesn't understand it fully because he called it "doing the sash". He said, "I did the sash because I just thought that's what the Rangers fans did". His naivety is obvious.

He then spoke about getting a death threat which contained details of his home address and his phone numbers. He contacted the police who found the person who made the threat in Ireland.

The police said that the guy was serious but there was nothing they could do. Gasgoigne told his family to board the windows etc. I was quite shocked because I knew nothing about that.

It was fine, but it didn't live up to the hype, or my expectations, and I can't remember much about it now.

I saw a previous documentary and he mentions it was Ian Ferguson who suggested it to him.

Naive as you say, unfortunately the fallout from the original flute playing incident did not stop him repeating the act in a friendly/legends match at Ibrox this year.
